INTERVIEW QUESTIONS for Cynthia:1. When did you discover your love for the written word? My mother said that, not having a Kindergarten close enough for me to attend as a child, that she taught me to read. I took to it easily and have always read above my level. Once I discovered the many worlds between the pages of a book, I was hooked.
2. When did you begin your writing career? I’ve made up stories for as long as I can remember, but it isn’t until a few years ago that I actually began to take the writing process seriously. My first novel, Fudge-Laced Felonies, was released through Barbour in 2007. At the American Christian Fiction Writers Association conference that year, I was awarded the new author contract.
3. Tell us something that people may not know about you? I’ve been on television twice. Once on the backdrop of a weather report filmed on Petit Jean Mountain in Arkansas and another time when a documentary was being filmed at the Pickle Plant where I worked.
4. Do you have a secret desire that may not ever come true? I’ve always thought it would be a blast to be in a movie. Not a walk on character, but an actual main character. An insane person would be fun.
5. Do you have a favorite book? The one book I own that has stood the test of time is Gone With the Wind and Little Women. I still love them.
6. A favorite author? I’d have to say that in today’s market, I love Diana Gabaldon. Her Outlander characters are so rich, I feel as if I know them.
7. Do you have a favorite book that you’ve written? No, I can’t say that I do. I guess Fudge would be it if I had to pick, it being my first and all.
8. Any suggestions for pre-pubbed authors? Never, ever, give up. If you’re meant to be an author, you need to write as much as you need to breathe.
Book blurb:Tabitha McClelland knows accepting a job as a Harvey House waitress can be risky. Traveling alone to the rough-and-tumble West just isn’t done by young ladies of good breeding. But far more dangerous is her powerful attraction to Adam Foster. Family means everything to the widowed chef, but the self-sufficient Tabitha cherishes her freedom above all else.Adam is captivated by the fiercely independent Tabitha. Fraternizing with the female employees is strictly forbidden, but the Harvey Girl awakens feelings too compelling to ignore. Can Adam convince Tabby to share his dream of a future in California–together?
Author bio:Multi-published author Cynthia Hickey had three cozy mysteries published through Barbour Publishing, with a novella releasing in March 2013.

Vannetta Chapman's "A Wedding for Julia"
Title: A Wedding for Julia
Publisher: Harvest House Publishers
Cover Blurb: Just As Hope Runs out the Door, Love Softly Peeks In
Julia Beechy is so stunned, she can hardly breathe. The announcement that she must either marry or move from the family home on her mother’s imminent death catches Julia completely by surprise. How can she leave the only home she has ever known? What about her dream of opening her own Plain café?
Quiet Caleb Zook thought his time for marrying was long past, but he feels a stirring in his heart he cannot shake for this beautiful, forlorn woman. When he offers support, comfort, and a solution, Julia is afraid to accept it. Can she marry someone she barely knows? Is that the right thing to do? Is this God’s plan for her future? For his?
As Julia and Caleb work through the consequences of their life-altering decision, the people of Pebble Creek weather the worst storm to hit Wisconsin in the last hundred years. Where will Julia and Caleb be on the other side of it?
1) How did this story come to you?
"I had the awesome experience of participating in a Bible study entitled, The Bible in 90 Days. It was during that study that I came across Genesis 24:67. ‘Isaac brought Rebekah into his mother Sarah’s tent, and she became his wife. He loved her deeply, and she was a special comfort to him after the death of his mother.’ I couldn't let go of that image of God providing a lifelong love for Isaac before he had even met the woman. And Isaac, he trusted God and married Rebekah. What a wonderful God we serve. Julia's story began there, in the pages of Genesis. I hope it is one that brings you hope, inspiration, and a touch of God's grace."
1) Tell us about the journey to getting this book published.
Harvest House had read a previous proposal (A Simple Amish Christmas) and they were interested in me writing Amish romance for them. They contracted the Pebble Creek series based on story blurbs, and possibly I also sent a few sample chapters.
2) Tell me three things about yourself that would surprise your readers.
I struggle with my weight, I have 3 cats and quite a few deer living in my yard, and I've had my thyroid removed!
3) What are you working on now and what's next for you?
I have the edits for 3 different books that I'm working on now. The Christmas Quilt (Abingdon, October 2013), Murder Simply Brewed (Zondervan, March 2014) and Where Healing Blooms, a novella included in An Amish Garden (Thomas Nelson, May 2014).
4) Parting comments?
Thanks for having me, and a big thank you to everyone who clicked over. I'm daily encouraged by how many "readers" there still are in this old world.
5) Where can fans find you on the internet?

Deanna Klingel's "Cracks in the Ice"
Title: Cracks in the Ice.
Publisher: Write Integrity Press, in Georgia.
Cover blurb: This is teen and women's fiction about the niece of a mafia don who has a dream of Olympic gold in figure skating. She's almost there. Everything is in place. She's favored to win. Then tragedy derails her. As so often happens to athletes who can no longer compete, Gina loses her identity, along with self-worth. She spirals into despair, alcoholism rules her life. Two people who never give up on her are able to show her she is still loveable, still worthy, still a daughter of God. Is it too late for Gina to reinvent herself? Too late to hope?
1. How did this story come to you? How this story came to me is a mystery to me. This has happened in some of my other books as well. The character comes to me, already named, and tells me their stories. Not knowing anything about Gina's world meant a lot of research, but as I learned more and more I realized it was just as Gina told it to me.
2) Tell us about the journey to getting this book published.
After writing, rewriting, and polishing, I began the difficult search for a publisher. I didn't have an agent at that time, so I started with smaller publishers. Then on the ACFW loop one day came the announcement that a new Christian publishing house was accepting teen fiction, so I took a chance and submitted to Tracy Ruckman at Write Integrity Press. The first thing I heard from Tracy was "I Love It!" She came to a festival in North Georgia where I was signing books, and hand delivered the contract. It was very exiting.
3) Tell me three things about yourself that would surprise your readers.You want to know three things about me that would surprise my readers? I can't think what that might be. I'm pretty wide open, kind of a what-you-see-is-what-you-get sort. I think everyone knows I love golden retrievers and train therapy dogs. They're in all my pictures. My bios are all short, but they all say I live in the mountains of western North Carolina. But maybe they don't know I'm originally from Michigan, then lived in New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland and Georgia. Most probably know I raised seven children, but maybe don't know I've been married for fifty years! I have eleven grandchildren. Now you know everything.
4) What are you working on now and what's next for you?What I'm working on right now is keeping up with blogging, facebook, traveling, newsletters, bookings and marketing. It all cuts into my writing time! I don't have to spend sooo much time with submissions anymore because now I have an agent who does that part of it for me. I'm looking forward to getting started on my next writing, so I'm trying to get ahead of all the other things so I won't be interrupted for the summer. I'll be starting a new novel in June, historical fiction, YA.
5) Parting comments?I'm looking forward to giving away a copy of Cracks in the Ice. I've gotten some wonderful comments from readers who really love it. It was a Selah Finalist, which was terribly exciting, and has the Seal of Approval of the Catholic Writers Guild.
6) Where can fans find you on the internet?You can find me at BooksByDeanna.com. That's my website and my blog is on the first page. I'm on facebook, twitter, Goodreads. My book is available at your favorite indie bookseller, on Amazon.com, kindle and nook. Please suggest it to any teens you know.

Angela Strong's "Lighten Up"
Title: Lighten Up, Endurance Press Cover blurb:
Bethany Light is the daughter of a minister who can’t forgive her father for running off with the church secretary. She goes to her own pastor for counsel, never expecting to fall in love with him. To make matters worse, she’s personal training his fiancé in preparation for the big day and somehow ends up in their wedding.
Refusing to make the same mistake her dad made, Bethany tries to focus on fixing her family rather than face her own issues. How could a household that used to have it all together have fallen so far from grace? And how can she keep from following in her father’s footsteps when it feels so right?1) How did this story come to you?
I had the pastor of a huge church fall into my arms sobbing after confessing a nine-year affair, my mom once caught our pastor in a phone sex scandal, and my dad took over as pastor of a church where the previous minister had run off with the church secretary. The subject was everywhere around me except in the book stores. It's sad. It's real. And it hurts a lot of people. So I did what I do best--I made the tragic entertaining with the hopes that the deep truths will shine through.
2) Tell us about the journey to getting this book published. My agent at the time loved Lighten Up. While she shopped it, I decided to whip up a proposal for the Love Finds You series. When she called with good news, I expected it to be the sale of Lighten Up. It was not. Love Finds You in Sun Valley, Idaho released in 2010, but Lighten Up didn't find a home.
As an author, I'm often surprised by the reactions my writing gets, and this was one of those times. I labored over this story. I poured my heart into this story. But the other story sold. Maybe because of the "taboo" content in Lighten Up. Maybe because it was too outside the box. Maybe because it's not as good as I think it is. I don't know.
But through marketing Love Finds You, I got to know the manager for the local Family Christian Stores. When he told me he wanted to start a small press who published the kinds of books that the bigger publishers wouldn't touch, I submitted Lighten Up. And he loved it enough to sign me to a three book deal.
It's a learning experience for both of us. I'm just glad the story is out there. And that he supports me even though I'm no superstar.
3) Tell me three things about yourself that would surprise your readers.First, I'm also an aerobics instructor--well, maybe that's no surprise since the book mixes fitness with faith, but it's my passion aside from writing. One demands that I keep my "butt in chair" for long hours, while the other forces me to move it. Probably a good balance.
Second, my husband left me after I sold Love Finds You in Sun, Valley, so I was writing the romance novel while my own marriage was falling apart. After that I decided I never wanted to write romance again. But then I met the most amazing man who showed me how powerful love really is. I'm back, and I know my writing is going to be better than ever because of what I went through.
Third, I wrote about forgiving an adulterer in Lighten Up before I went through the divorce. I read it again after the fact and got a lot out of it. Sometimes, my writing is more healing for me than anyone else.
4) What are you working on now and what's next for you? Well, for Endurance Press, I'm writing two more books featuring Bethany's cousins: Shake it Up and Making Up. Besides that, I just finished Romancing the Throne, a fast-paced, light-hearted romantic suspense that finds Jacqueline James on the verge of becoming a modern day princess until the prince hires a P.I. to do a background check and discovers her father is a fugitive from the states. Determined not to let her fairytale fall apart, Jacqueline hires the P.I. to help her prove her father's innocence. Together they elude press, bounty hunters, and the Miami P.D., finding the truth and freeing Jacqueline for marriage to the future monarch...except now Prince Charming doesn't compare to her knight in shining armor.
5) Parting comments? May the God of all grace…restore you and make you strong. --I Peter 5:10
6) Where can fans find you on the internet? I have a blog that was started to help bring healing to unloved wives, but now it's for anyone who believes in the healing power of love. Hope to see you there. http://angelaruthstrong.blogspot.com
